Arthroscopic Double Row Knotless Cuff Repair - Dr Dipit Sahu

Description

The video transcript presents a surgical procedure focused on repairing a tear viewed through a lateral portal in the context of arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The procedure is broken down into various segments, starting with the introduction of the surgical setting where the speaker, Dipit Sahu, describes the type of tear visible at the beginning of the surgery.



The surgeon begins with the setup by placing a cannula and endoscope to examine the area of interest and mentions a 'GT' (greater tuberosity), identifying the leading edge of the tear and some debris. Subsequently, multiple portals are established for repair, including a posterior lateral portal and an anterior portal, facilitating various surgical instruments' access.



Throughout the procedure, the speaker emphasizes the importance of maintaining visibility and managing the surgical area, mentioning the use of traction to aid with positioning. There is a conscious effort to perform limited acromioplasty to provide better working space and avoid obstruction of the view, highlighting an understanding of anatomical structures and their implications for the surgery.



Tissue clearance and management of bleeding are also addressed, showcasing the surgeon's multitasking and decision-making skills during the procedure. As the surgery progresses, the speaker demonstrates how to handle the tear's reducibility and outlines the plan to place anchors at specific points to secure the repair.



The transcript reflects a detailed walkthrough of the surgical steps enhancing understanding for practitioners or those interested in orthopedic surgery, emphasizing both technical details and underlying surgical principles.
